Starting my real estate investing journey

[Madeline Currie]

Hi everyone,

I recently discovered this forum, and it's really been helpful to me. I posted a question a couple weeks ago, but I thought maybe I should introduce myself to the community:

My name is Madeline, and I live in West-end Toronto. I went to Humber for my Bachelor in Jazz and Contemporary Music, and I currently work with the Canadian Armed Forces as a musician. In my civilian life I'm a songwriter, and I also play trumpet with a few rock/R&B/pop bands and artists. Initially, my goal was just to house hack so I could afford my own home, but as I did more research I discovered the world of real estate investing. Although I'm really grateful for my current employment with the military, it's a bit sporadic and unpredictable in terms of schedule and income. I would like to start establishing a passive income/appreciating assets so I have a steadier income and can spend more time on my music and not worrying about money so much.

I'm looking forward to meeting and connecting with you all, and I'd be interested in hearing your stories as well. If you need help with any projects you're working on, I'd be happy to help out however I can and learn more in the process.

Cheers,
Madeline
